Hi! I received an alert from google search console saying they excluded a page from indexation, and when I look at the page it’s spam publicity: [MVUILL_0-1663842242468.png] URL : https://www.french-address.com/collections/vendors?q=Buy%20FUT%2023%20coins%2C%20Cheap%20FIFA%2023%20coins%20for%20s…

Hi @MVUILL I can definitely understand your concern! Based on the URL you shared it looks like this might be a collection created within your admin or possible from the new Shopify Collabs service. The “spammy” content of that page you shared is what appears to be the collection page title. If you…

This is unbelievable. They are asleep at the wheel. I feel helpless. Nov dec had best sales since the supply chain fiasco. Now zip since the holidays. Google wont even run my ads, now I understand why at least. If it wasn’t for google console messages and everyone here I’d still be in the dark. But …

@Maxime_Breton_V a fix for the web pixel issue is currently rolling out. As with the vendor and search spam fixes, it will take some weeks for Google to revist those pages and unindex them. @Mont can you paste a few of the vendor spam links that you’re seeing in GSC with dates within the last coupl…

Looks like there is a correct header of noindex. Can you check your robots file to see if you’re blocking this URL and if so, unblock it.

Please someone tell me if this makes sense , my store can’t take being slammed by Google anymore. Am I correct the issue is that our auto generated sitemap.xml includes these bad urls. What if built my own tidy sitemap and sent that to Google instead.

I think this should work my brother helped by putting this code in the robot.txt file to unblock the url. Hopefully this will take care of the issue. [Screenshot 2023-03-14 125548.jpg]
